Cheshire Cat drops 622 vertical feet over 2,703 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 92% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces north.

How well Cheshire Cat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Cheshire Cat gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,450 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
